Cirque du Soleil Creates New Theatrical Division
Stage Directions: Cirque du Soleil has created a new division to develop “unique theatrical” productions based on “traditional theatrical practices.” The new division, Cirque du Soleil Theatrical will be headed by Scott Zeiger, co-founder of Base Entertainment. The formation of the division continues Cirque’s efforts to diversify their creations to include productions more similart to traditional stage shows. During his time at Base Entertainment Zeiger helped create Phantom – The Las Vegas Spectacular, Disney’s The Lion King, and Wicked, presented in Singapore. His credits also include current hit Broadway shows such as Jersey Boys (Las Vegas and world tour) and Rock of Ages (Las Vegas).

I think that the idea of Cirque becoming it's own theatrical division is really interesting. Cirque itself is very interesting because it isn't really a theater show or a circus it is something that is all of its own. They are always doing new things that really push the envelope doing new creative things. With this I think it is appropriate that they are becoming their own division, and I'm interested to see how this plays a role into how they hire and what rules they follow.
